Re: Serge Lutens 2013 (?)

Interesting. The name vierge de fer was already floated some time ago as a potential exclusive, though later it turned out to be voix noire. The name is certainly evocative, though not necessarily smell-wise: metal and blood? Killer lily of the valley?

Laine de verre is somewhat less evocative, and suggests something synthetic. Hope it's not a nuit de cellophane remake.

I want to say, "hopefully", a little bit of originality and humour (by playing french words)... Name a frangrance ""Ambre something" or "Tubéreuse this" it was new in the 90 but now... and the orientals names it become boring too (ex: rose nacrée du desert...)

Wow, thank you for the information. This is a must try for me since I love rose. Sa Majeste la Rose while beautiful drydown to a overly animalic base which I cannot tolerant. Hope this one will be better

Trying to be optimistic too! Thankfully Serge has a nack for turning something that sounds plain jane into something remarkable... and visa versa
Still - I pretty much creamed my pants over the colour of the juice.

I've still been searching for the perfect rich and spicy rose to add to my collection, so I'm certainly looking forward to trying this one. I find sampling Serge scents very satisfying, even if not all fully click with me.

Oh no, i have read this thread !
Next time i'll try to discover the new Lutens release without knowing any note information or press text...
Just for trying to interpretate by myself what is the theme/story and compare after with officials infos. Biasis speculation is sometime source of useless disapointment.
